Using GrainMark is easy and quick. The 4 easy steps limits the time keying in data. You are able to import your crop specifications and buyer prices, premiums and discounts. GrainMark has three areas of use. 1. Pre-Harvest One of the major benefits of GrainMark is the adaptability of the program. If you require further commodities (for example Lupins) to be added to the commodity range of the software application, this can be made available through a software update by contacting AgCentric. Contact Us When considering whether to forward sell a consignment of wheat prior to harvest, GrainMark can be used to compare a range of alternatives. If the buyers being considered are operating under different premiums and discounts, you can run some 'what if' scenarios for different quality wheat, sorghum, barley, canola & chickpea loads.
There is an increasing practice these days of delivering all produce into warehousing during harvest and delaying marketing until harvest has finished. Bulk handling companies generally provide 1 months free storage to facilitate this practice. There are two problems associated with delaying marketing until harvest has finished. 1. During large harvest stocks of unsold grain causes problems for bulk handling companies in that certain classifications can fill up. This can lead to growers having to store on farm or transport to alternative sites. 2. Premiums for certain quality for use in domestic markets are generally greatest early in the harvest period. Those who wait until after harvest to market their grain often miss out on these premiums and are left with either the pool or a discounted cash market as their only alternatives. By using GrainMark, the task of identifying, which alternative will bring the best result for the crop being harvested, becomes much easier and much quicker. Once the specifications of the crop are in the program, it is only the click of a button to calculate prices and decide where to sell. You can now harvest and market at the same time. As a result of using GrainMark, it is no longer a case of spending days in the office after harvest trying to figure out 'what load should go where'. Once the details of the buyers prices, premiums and discounts plus the specifications of the individual loads have been entered you can simply compare price offers as shown below.
You can now decide which loads should fill which contracts. |
